PL Conversion Series

Applications

• Coating of shaped surfaces with 3D thermoforming films (PVC, PPE, ABS etc.); this operation can be carried out with or without the membrane, depending on the case, (the press is equipped with a mechanical system that allows the operator to put on/take off the membrane very quickly);
• Coating of shaped surfaces with veneer (this operation always requires the use of the membrane).

Typical final products

• Various types of shaped panels;
• Doors, cabinet doors and flaps for bathrooms, kitchens etc.

Common features of PL Conversion models
